The Three Pillars of our Holistic Approach
Our commitment to sustainability is underpinned by three pillars that include the
- long-term needs of our people and communities,
- sustainable and profitable farming practices, and
- safeguarding our climate and the environment.
Operating within a mature governance framework, each pillar entails specific goals and targets that are measured on an annual basis and guide our everyday operations.
Sustainability in Action
We engage in a range of activities in support of our sustainability goals across our national farms and rural communities on a daily basis. Our goals are supported by specific annual targets that allow us to monitor and continuously improve our sustainable farming practices.

Leading Harvest
Leading Harvest, a nonprofit organisation founded in the United States, has announced that it has launched its industry-leading program in Australia which will implement a world-first sustainability assurance program designed to harmonise sustainability reporting across crops and regions. Leading Harvest provides farmers and agriculture customers with a universal certification through its unique Farmland Management Standard (the “Standard”), which standardises sustainability verification and reporting across the industry, resolving inefficiencies faced by farmers, producers, and customers in providing the sustainability assurances that the market increasingly demands.
Following a successful 12-month pilot leading up to the Standard’s launch and covering multiple sectors tailored to the Australian agriculture environment, Warakirri Cropping agreed to participate in the program in March 2023 believing this holistic program is best suited to drive positive change in the agricultural industry in Australia and promote sustainable practices and deliver long-term value for investors.
Warakirri Cropping is proud to have become one of the first Australian agriculture asset managers to achieve certification to the Leading Harvest Australia Farmland Management Standard in September 2023.
